CMS 5 STAR RATED FACILITY

Wauconda Care Rated 5 Star CMS Facility

See how Wauconda Care compares to other facilities

Wauconda Care is five-star rated facility designated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Only the top ten percent of nursing facilities achieve the high rating, which makes this distinction a coveted accomplishment. The rating system was created to assist consumers, their families, and caregivers so that they can easily compare skilled nursing facilities and improve access to information. Ratings are based on scores for health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures.

This rating system grew out of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 and quality improvement campaigns such as the Advancing Excellence in America’s Nursing Homes, which is a coalition of consumers, health care providers and nursing home professionals.
